Good jumping by Bill Stup down the first straight.  Pity he lost his balance on the manual which caused him to crash.

Conditions looked the exact opposite of what they were like last time we were there (cold, wet, windy, miserable).

[moomin]

You nutter Bill, seem to remember you stacking at the 1st National on that straight, must love eatin dirt eh 

Commentry from Mr and Mrs Gashead, how did he do that he's on his own............Nick just saying after a long pause............................... dunno 

[Zippy]

I tell you what though Billy has come on in leaps and bounds this year and his balls are very big indeed.

the first pic is off dan pullen 13/14yr expert (in the lead #8). on day 2 he was on fire finishing 4th in his A final and all this on flat pedals. awsome

It`ll be funny if somebody got my other crash on Sunday on vid, I tried to jump the doubles on the third straight but didn`t have enough speed, so just slamed straight in to the face of the second double, which snapped 5 spokes and put a huge flat spot in a brand new rim that I`d just built up for this weekend, I then fell sideways and down the side of the jump backwards with the bike on top of me, mind you I got a nice round of applause once I got up and carried my bike over the line

Unfortunately I missed all of billy's troubles, we where in different moto,s  but I certainly heard all the hooooos and hhhaaaaas when he fell off on the doubles big props to bill he just got up and got on with it. all be it with a square wheel

You don't mean that big horrible deep double where Dave Herman passed you at Rd1/Rd2 do you Bill?  If you do, then you're a bigger fruitcake than I thought for trying that 

Balls of steel for trying that one!

Unlucky Bill, you had that in the bag and were really flying over the doubles on the first straight.

I`d cleared it a couple of times in practice so thought it would be on in the race, but Dave Herman low-highed me in the berm so I lost a bit of speed, but thought fook it I`ll give it a go, and a square wheel was the result

Well major props for jumping that horrible double Bill.  I wouldn't even think about trying it    (I need a f'kin kick up the arse!)

[THIRSTYKIRSTY]

Mike the weather was perfect for jumping this weekend nice and dry with a slight wind, like billy said the big doubles are quite easy to jump as long as you get a decent run at them.

No Russ, I gave Burnham a miss.

I did see Jack's results though and if I'm not mistaken, he may go to the No.1 spot in the rankings as I don't think Jacob Roberts raced last weekend.  I'm keeping my eye on his progress

Unfortunately Bof, my bollox are no bigger in nice weather than they are otherwise 

Anyway, I'm gonna be doing a bit of riding in the US over the next few weeks, so maybe it will help me up my game a bit before the Brits.
